Twitter rejects Musk’s arguments in legal filings
News in brief

Twitter has accused Elon Musk of “conjuring” the issue of spam bots on the platform to back out of its $44bn acquisition deal in legal filings made public on Thursday.

Twitter called Musk’s arguments for abandoning the deal “a story, imagined in an effort to escape a merger agreement that Musk no longer found attractive once the stock market and along with it, his massive personal wealth, declined in value”.

Last month, Twitter sued Musk to force him to to complete the deal and Musk launched his own counter lawsuit last week.
